about

Another shape-note tune. In addition to sacred music, Southern Harmony contains a few songs like this which would be suitable for opening or closing singing gatherings. I like this one because of the double meaning -- is it about death, or just having to go home after singing all afternoon? Either way, "I hope we'll meet again" makes me smile.

lyrics

Our cheerful voices let us raise,
And sing a parting song;
Although I'm with you now, my friends,
I can't be with you long:
For I must go and leave you all,
It fills my heart with pain;
Although we part, perhaps, in tears,
I hope we'll meet again.
